' This invention relates to dispensing devices, and particularly tosuch brushes as shaving brushes, tooth brushes and the like.r

The object of the invention is the provision of simple and elicient means for carrying a semiliquefied soap or a suitable dentifrire in arbru'sh and being able to discharge same at the will of the operator into or upon the bristles of the brush, when the brush is in to be used. 1

VAnother object of the invention is the const-ructionof an efficient ejecting means, on.

tlie body of the brush, whereby the contents of the body, sucn as paste-like soap or dentifrice,A caribe discharged by the operator onto the bristles in small quantities, as required.

TWith these and other objects in view, my

invention comprises certain novel constructions, combinations, and arrangements of zo parts as will be hereinafter fully described,

illustrated in the :accompanying drawings,

and more particularly pointed out i-n the appended claims.y In the drawings: l

Figure 1 'is a view in side elevation of a shaving brush constructed in accordance f with the present invention, while Figure 2 is a longitudinal, vertical, central sectional view of the saine.

Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line @#4, Figure 2 and looking in the direction of the arrows.

Figure 5 is an end view of the brush, as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 8.

Figure 6 is an enlarged sectional the cap.

Figure 7 is an enlarged sectional view of the primary nut.

Figure 8 is a longitudinal sectional view of a tooth brush constructed in accordance with the present invention.

Referring to the drawings designates a cylindrical body, which is closed by a partition 2 near one end, having a tubular extension 3, through whichv the pastelike soap, ordinarily contained in body 1, is permitted to pass into, and upon, the bristies l.

The outer end of body 1 is internally screw threaded, and the cap 5 is provided with eX- ternal screw threads 6 (Fig. 6) that screw into the internal screw threads of bodyl. as shown in Figure 2. This cap 5 is provided view of 45 by numerals, 1

ing 7 comniiuiicates atitsfoute-r `end with outer socliet"8,and at its inner end it coniniunicates with inner socket 9. i i

The primary nut 10 comprises a `head11v with an integral inwardly extending sleeve 15;`both tlielliead andsleeve ai'einternally `screw threaded vfor receiving the long screw 13. On the outer end of sereiY 1,3 isfan integral head 14., which head 141- is partlyseated in socket 15, formed in head `11 of pri ary `nut ,10, so that the head 1l, of screw 13 can seat snugly down `into theliead 11 of Vpriuiaryiiutdt). The sleeve 1Q .is'longer than the opening so that the inner end of sleeve 12 extends quite a little distance into socket 9, thereby permitting lock nut `16 to be tightly screwed against the inner. end of sleeve 1:2, within socket 9, whereby whenthe operator turns, or screws upon primary nut 10,iscrew 13 will be rotated for causing the disc-like follower' 17 to` travel withinr the cylindrical body 1, pressing upon` thecontents of said body forcing` it out through the tubular extension 3.A i

To facilitate the operator grasping `the head 11 of primary nut 10, said head is roughened or serrated, as shownA in Figures 1 and 5.

y 1n Figure 8, l have shown how my invention can be adapted to a tooth brush. In this embodiment, the body 1a is provided with a head 18, in which head is a passage 19 through which 'the dentifrice can be forced into the bristles.

Ordinary shaving cream, such as found on the markettoday, can be placed in the interior or chamber of the cylindrical body 1, and then, as the operator shaves a small quantity can be quickly forced by follower 17, into the bristles, as needed. In this way, the shaving process is more economical, as only the actual needed quantity of shaving cream or paste-like soap is required, without any waste, such as is usually the case if a mug is used. Further, the dentifrice, ordinarily obtained in tubes on the market today, can be placed in the bodyla of the tooth brush shown in Figure 8, and likewise, as needed the dentifrice can be used by the operator without any waste.

I have found from actual experience with a working model that my improved device, over the prior art, can be quickly and positively assembled, and that it willI operate efficiently, in the manner specilied.

with a large central opening which open- While I have described the preferred ,elnbodinients of my invention and illustrated the same in the accompanying drawings, certain Ininor changes or alterations may appear to one skilled in the art to which this invention relates during the extensive manufacture of the saine, and I, therefore, reserve the right to make `such ,changes or alterations as shall fairly fall within the scope of the appended elain'is,

lzVhat lf elaini is:

l. ln a dispensing device, the combination of a cylindrical body provided at .one end with internal screw tlireads, a :cap screwed into said internal screw threads, a primary nut extending through said cap, a long screw vthreaded `,through said primary nut,` a lock nut on said screw and tightly against part of said `primary nut, and a follower inovably mounted on said screw wit-hin said eylindrical body.

2. In a dispensing device, the combination of a cylindrical body provided at one end with internal screw threads, a cap threaded into said internally tlnzeaded end of the body with part Aof the cap against :the outer end of said body, said cap provided with a large `central opening and with an outer socket at the outer end of said opening, said cap provided with an inner socket at `the inner end of said opening, a primary nut coinprising a head partly seated in said outer opening of the cap, said'head being integral with a sleeve, said sleeve and head bei-ng internally threaded, said head provided with a socket, a screw threaded through said head and sleeve ot said primary nut, said screw provided with a head in said socket of the head of the priniary nut, said sleeve of greater length than said central opening of said cap, whereby said sleeveextends into said inner socket of said cap, a. lock nut on said screw and within said inner Socket of said cap and tightly engaging the end of said sleeve within said inner socket, said lock nut being spaced entirely from the walls olj said inner socket for allowing ,free rotation ol'. the screw without moving said ca and a @follower within said cylindrical bo y and llireaifled upon said screw.

il. In a dispensing device rthe combination of a hollow body, a cap on said body, a primary mit rotatably mounted on said cap and extending through the saine, a screw extending through said primary nut, a lock nut on sadscrew and tightly binding upon said primary nut, and `a follower in said hollow 4body and threaded on said screw.

el. In a dispensing device, the combination of a hollow body, a `cap on said hollow body, a nul' with a sleeve on said cap, said sleeve extending through said cap, a screw extending `through said nur and its sleeve, a lock nuten said screw and tightly binding against the inner end of said sleeve, and a follower on said screw within said hollow body.

In testimony whereof I hereunto allix my signature.

HERMAN HANSON.
